VERSUS Lyrics in English Vitaa , Slimane

Home / Lyrics Translation / Vitaa / VERSUS

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song VERSUS by Vitaa from French to English.

Hello! I'm Slimane

I won season five of The Voice

With a song by Vitaa called 'A Fleur de Toi'

It was truly an incredible experience

And tonight I'm actually coming to try my luck again

Because I learned that Vitaa was a coach

I had a lot of things to tell her

Because when I did the show

Everything happened very quickly and

I started to lose myself a little

And she came in and

Suddenly everything seemed easier with her

She doesn't really know but she kinda saved me

I never really dared to tell her

Tonight I'm going to sing her a song

Tell her the truth

I just hope she'll hear me

Tonight, my sister, I needed to confide in myself

Sorry in advance if it hurts you

After the storm, the sky is clear

Now, I need to tell myself

How to tell you, my brother, that deep down I knew

We tell each other everything tonight, but I was observing you

We crossed paths for the first time a few years ago

I never said it but that day, you touched me

Who would have thought that one day, I'd tell you everything?

You should know that I'm on the edge with us

That I thank the heavens for putting you in my path

It was written, it was certain, it was destiny

You had taken my heartfelt words, embellished my song

Anyone else would have done it, I would have turned the volume down

I was in my car, they told me to listen

From the first notes, I never told you, my tears flowed

I also have so many things to confide in you

People only see what I want to show them

No one knows but in this life, I disappoint myself so much

Maybe in another life, I'll truly own up

I'm the type to hide

When things aren't going well, I can break everything

Since then, I had let go

Why am I afraid of ruining everything?

Sometimes I'm scared and I break down

Life has hit me hard

Tell me, what's the point of hurting and then staying silent?

I never had confidence in myself

I live in a life of doubts

And in the courtyard, I heard them belittle me

I don't give a damn about their game, I dream of taking a turn

They dream of glory when at night, I dream of turning off the screen

I spend way too many sleepless nights, I know you see it

My eyes are red, filled with blood when things aren't going well

When they ask me, I put on a show, greet my friends

But deep down, I'm so uncomfortable in my own skin

Today, the night is my wife, my child, and my mother

If you knew how many times I ended up alone on the ground

I drank everything, took everything, saw everything, said nothing

I screamed, I cried, to love, to life

I'm the type to hide

When things aren't going well, I can break everything

Since then, I had let go

Why am I afraid of ruining everything?

Sometimes I'm scared and I break down

Life has hit me hard

Tell me, what's the point of hurting and then staying silent?

I'm the type to hide

When things aren't going well, I can break everything

Since then, I had let go

Why am I afraid of ruining everything?

Sometimes I'm scared and I break down

Life has hit me hard

Tell me, what's the point of hurting and then staying silent?

If you knew how my mind explodes

How fast my heart beats when I lose control

How many times I wanted to stop everything

To throw everything away, to start over

So many people think I'm showing off

If you knew what I tell her five times a day

I'll end up leaving everything like Mélanie

She's at peace, if you knew how much I envy her

I'm the type to hide

When things aren't going well, I can break everything

Since then, I had let go

Why am I afraid of ruining everything?

Sometimes I'm scared and I break down

Life has hit me hard

Tell me, what's the point of hurting and then staying silent?

I'm the type to hide

When things aren't going well, I can break everything

Since then, I had let go

Why am I afraid of ruining everything?

Sometimes I'm scared and I break down

Life has hit me hard

Tell me, what's the point of hurting and then staying silent?

I'm the type to hide

When things don't go well, I can break everything

Since then, I had given up

Why am I afraid of ruining everything

Sometimes I'm scared and I break down

Life hit me hard

Tell me what's the point of being in pain and then being silent?

SONG MEANING

Vitaa and Slimane turn their life stories into an emotional tag-team match in “VERSUS.” The two French stars look back on the moment Slimane won The Voice by singing Vitaa’s classic “À Fleur de Toi,” then fast-forward to today where they finally confess everything they never dared to say. Over pulsing piano chords, Slimane admits that fame made him lose himself, while Vitaa reveals she was silently crying in her car the first time she heard his cover. Instead of battling each other, their real opponent is self-doubt, loneliness, and the pressure of always smiling for the cameras.

The chorus feels like a therapeutic mantra: both artists drop their masks, owning up to panic attacks, sleepless nights, and the urge to smash everything when life hits too hard. By sharing their darkest thoughts, they prove that speaking up is stronger than suffering in silence. “VERSUS” is not a fight between friends; it is a victory over the fear of opening up, wrapped in a powerhouse duet that invites listeners to do the same.
